The Ethics Of interviewing,

The business of the newspaper is TO fur
nish private people with the public news
not to furnish the public with the news OF
private people
private conversation is as sacred AZ
private correspondence An interlocutor
has no more right to publish my private
conversation then TO ransack my drawers
for private papers.
II must be taken for granted that a con
verSation is private unless il is distinctly
understood to be meant for public use
either by previous arrangement or by sx-
press permission afterward.
When So made public, it must not be
printed until both parties to the converse
tion have agreed as TO the accuracy of the
report.-New Princeton Review.

WHAT THE SHAKERs BELIEVE ABOUT
DIsEASE.-They have learned from many
yoars experience that nine-tenths Of all the
diseases of mankind arise fIom imperfect
digestion of food; for this reason they have
spent years of labor III preparing the Sha-
ker Extract of Roots (Siegel's Syrup and
il operates like charm in all cases of indi-
geStiOn.
II is not what we eat that makes us
strong. but that which we digest. This is
the doctrine of the Mount Lebanon Shakers.
People who are weak and languid, tired
and feeble often wonder. The reason Is
that the food eaten does not give strength
because it is not digested. The Shaker Ex-
thract of Roots tSiegrrs Syrup will restore
the digestion to a healthy condition and
drive away the headache, the pains in the
side and back. the distress after eating and
make the sleep afford rest.

John Cochrane, late of this place has
gone to Detroit, to engage i'll the dry
goods trade i'll the interest of j. II.
Burnam Il Co.
Our new jeweler, Mr.. A. Smart, of
Mayville, is putting i'll nice stock.
Frank Snyder intends taking legal
proceedings against the firm of n. p.
Boyer & Co.. Coatsville, Penn, for an
alleged dog swindle.
The bill for the incorporation of
Brown City us Il village passed the
House of Representatives by vote of
ninety-five to nothing. Hon. John
Makelim will always poll large vote
in Brown City, after that. The signers
for the incorporation bill number II.
The house report says there was a
counter petition signed by II. G.. Brown
and two others, protesting against the
bill. We beg leave to rectify slight
mistake which occurred in the house
when Mr.. Browns formidable petition
was presented; as we understand, some
member volunteered the information
that Mr.. Brown was a news-boy. We
presume it was an error arising from
the fact of Mr.. Brown being postmaster
of this place. besides being treasurer of
the Literary Society, and defeated can
didate for drain commissioner, he owns
a splendid farm and number of vii
lage lots, all OF which we understand he
is anxious to dispose of at auction sale
prices.
